The 54-year-old died on Saturday. He was best known for playing Chandler Bing in the hit TV show
The cast of Friends say they are “utterly devastated” by the death of their co-star Matthew Perry. Perry, best known for playing Chandler Bing in the show, died aged 54 on Saturday.
They added: “In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.” On Sunday, Friends co-creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane, along with executive producer Kevin Bright, described their “shock” and being “deeply saddened” at Perry’s death in a joint statement.
The actors reunited on screen for the first time in 2021 after the show ended its celebrated 10-year run in 2004, having become a pop culture phenomenon. While his on-screen character brought joy to many, Perry had spoken candidly about how he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction when filming the series.
Maggie Wheeler, who played Chandler’s on-and-off girlfriend, Janice Hosenstein, said the “world will miss you”. Elliott Gould, who played the father of Ross and Monica Geller , remembered Perry as “kind, thoughtful, smart, funny, and just a terrifically, talented actor”. Hayek said it has taken her a couple of days to process the “profound sadness” but that she will cherish the “silliness, perseverance, and lovely heart” of her late co-star. Alongside a selection of photos of them together posted to Instagram, she added: “There is a special bond that happens when you share dreams with someone, and together you work towards them.
